Dixon #3

Chapter Three

We made or way to the cabin. It was a big cabin, that looked like it had come right out of a Laura Ingels Wilder book.

"Ok, game plan?" asked Carol. My dad stepped up and said, "I declare we raid the house and stay here for a little bit, see what it has to offer." The others nodded except for me.

"How about, no?" I started, "This is an obvious camp out place, and to be honest we have enemies, I know we all do. If they come looking for us they would find us in an hour. I am fine about raiding it but I am not comfortable than staying here for more then a day."

As I said this the hoop seemed that they understood especially Rick. I could tell he had more enemies than all of us, one of them being myself.

"Cheristy, don't argue with me." my dad said sternly, I was optionated but he was super strict on him talking and it being final.

I looked down forgetting about my idea and he repeated his plan as Carl walked over to me.

"Hi." he whispered.

"Hi."

"So guess we haven't caught up that much. Just for the record I think that your beautiful." He said, not even looking up at me, I blushed.

To be perfectly honest, I thought Carl was very attractive himself. His blue eyes peirced my own, making me shiver inside when I looked at him.

"Why thank you kind sir you're not too bad yourself." I replied.

I was lying though, he was more than ok. But I was kinda trying to supress the embarrassing girly girl inside. Afterall this was the apocalypse, no time for painting your nails or relationships.

We headed into the cabin, it was untouched.

I immediately ran upstairs to the master sweet.

I swung open the door and what was on the bed terrified me.

Five dead bodies. A husband and wife. Two children and worst yet an infant.

I screamed and crumpled down to the floor.

They weren't gonna come back alive but I had never had to kill a human and never seen a dead body that wasn't trying to eat me.

Carl and My dad rushed upstairs and started yelling for me.

But my heart was rushing and no matter what my voice wouldn't come out.

But then I was taken out of my shock when one of the children moved and sudden realization hit me. They didn't die with a bullet in their heads. The whole family started to come towards me pushing me up against the wall.

I straggled for my knife hoping it was strapped to my thigh. Another reality hit me as I remembered leaving all my weapons down stairs other than the extra arrow in my boot.

I got the arrow out of my boot and stabbed the little girl then the little boy.

Finally I killed the couple as I took a deep breath and wiped away tears from my face.

I walked over to the bed where the infant started to awaken and took my arrow and shoved it into its soft head.

"Another one bites the dust."I said to myself.

I walked out of the room and saw my dad.

"What the hell happened?" he asked.

"They weren't fully dead." I mumbled before I made my way downstairs.

I could hear my dad say "holy shit." as he entered the room.

I approached Rick and said, "My weapons are necessary for survival. Give me them."

I held out my hand as he reluctantly gave me back my knife and crossbow.

I said a slight thank you and walked away.

Then gun, up to my head, hand over my mouth.

I screamed through my captures fingers making little sounds that were still obvious to be heard.I reached for my knife, grabbed it and stabbed right into the guys thigh.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked, raising up my cross bow, aiming for his head.

"Another victim of this godforsaken world. "he said. I examined him head t toe searching for any weapon bulges, but then found he had non. He was tall and lanky, he had the blondest hair and freckles on every inch of his exposed skin.

"How many walkers have you killed?" asked rick as he nudged me to the side and approached the man to interrogate him. I glared at him and then backed away to stand by carl as I put down my crossbow but instead drew my pistol, equipped with a silencer and a full barrel of ammo.

"None." the man replied, he was tending to his wound and seemed to have medical experience.

"how many people have you killed?"

"None."

This guy was pure, no wonder he had no weapons it yet surprised me that he was still alive.

"Why did you try to kidnap her?" Carl asked, stepping forward next to his dad leaving me with Michone.

"I wanted to take her along with all them other gals that I've took." he spat as he smiled at me revealing yellow teeth.

"You're dead." I breathed through my teeth. I walked towards him and stood in front of rick as he tried holding me back.

"Let go of me, this man deserves to die!" I screamed at rick. My eyes where full of anger, he had probably done so many horrible thing to girls and after had just left them to die. It also didn't help that I had the shortest temper in the world.

"Cheristy!" yelled Maggie, she was shocked, I could tell. but it didn't matter to me.

I raised my gun and pulled the trigger, he slumped to the ground. His blonde hair turned red.

I turned around and came face to face with Rick.
"No."
I stomped off and into the woods. These people didn't know where the line of deadly was, I was the only one that realized the line is always right in front of you.
